Monastic Guest Houses : Ugyen Gaki Pelzom Guest House, Takila

Description

Nestled in the tranquil village of Takila in Bhutan’s eastern Lhuntse district, Ugyen Gaki Pelzom Guest House offers simple yet charming accommodations, just a short distance from one of the country’s most revered landmarks—the towering Guru Padmasambhava statue. Standing at an impressive 154 feet, the statue was completed and consecrated in 2015, built in accordance with the prophecies of Buddhist masters such as Terton Lerab Lingpa and Dudjom Jidrel Yeshey Dorji.

The guest house serves as an ideal base for visitors seeking to explore this sacred site while experiencing the warmth of Bhutanese hospitality and culture. Each of the 24 well-appointed rooms features a private bathroom with hot and cold running water, a comfortable bed, in-room heating, fresh towels, and tea/coffee-making facilities for added comfort.

Guests can savour traditional Bhutanese cuisine at the on-site restaurant, where meals are lovingly prepared using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Signature dishes include the beloved Ema Datshi, a spicy chili and cheese dish that is a staple of Bhutanese culinary heritage.
